Kurenai thought she had escaped the darkness. Leaving behind the world of crime, she built a new life as an underground DJ by night and a professional hitwoman by necessity-taking out bad men for the secretive organization known as "The Pool." Alongside her best friend Solara, she stayed hidden in the city's shadows. But shadows always hide ghosts. Ka'Jai-known to most as Draco-never forgot the woman who walked away. A kingpin on the rise, he sees everything that happens in the city. And when his targets start falling to an unseen assassin, he finds her. Kurenai, the woman he trained, the woman he loved, and the one who betrayed him. But love and hate are two sides of the same knife. Now, Draco watches her. He tests her. He taunts her. And Kurenai knows he's close-too close. But even as the tension between them burns hotter, they are both trapped in a deadly game of secrets, violence, and desire.
